refreshing a f'glass gelcoat with epoxy. Possible?

A friend of mine has asked me to refresh the gelcoat of his (ancient) marnier. I proposed doing this with West 105 resin with 209 hardener and a whitening agent. Is this the best course over polyesther fiberglass? How compatable are the two materials, and what sort of prep work would you recommend? Many thanks oh guru of polymers. I await your reply dread sovereign.
